NERF BARS FOR A 400EX SHOULD I GO WITH ALLOY OR STEEL I HEARD PROS AND CONS ON BOTH (ALLOY BEND EASY AND STEEL RUST) I AM LOOKING AT AC RACING OR DG, DID ANYBODY HAVE THE YELLOW STRAPS ON THE AC NERFS THEY SAID IT IS NOT HONDA'S YELLOW.THANKS
2002 400EX

 

I would go with the aluminum. True, they may not be as strong as the steel, but they if you hit something hard enough to bend the aluminum I don't think that a couple in.lbs of tensil strength is going to make much difference. Besides, the aluminum is a whole lot lighter. The 400 is a sport bike not a tank, keep it light.
As for the yellow straps. They are not the same yellow as the 400, they are more of a neon shade.

 

i got dg alloy on my 400ex and they work great i could stand on them if i wanted to plus steel is heavy u dont want a heavy quad do u?

 

i have the ac racing on my 300ex. I have the red nets. The look good. I'm guessin you (the one wantin nerfs) has a yellow 400ex. If I were you, and since the yellow nets are Honda Yellow, I would go with black.

 

dg is wicked strong i have a pair and i hear that you can pick your four wheeler up by them??? i stand on mine all the time and hite sides of trees and put lots of preser on them and they are still holding up and they are the aluminume good luck???

 

My AC Racing are stronger than anything I've seen. I bounce up and down on mine just to see how strong the are. They haven't bent yet. I like the mounting better on the AC. The DGs will scratch the frame. If thats not a big issue with you, then I can't tell you which ones to get. I do like my AC racing better than I did my DG. I had a set of DG but I wanted some where I could replace the nets. So I got AC. The new dgs do have the replacable nets, but mine didn't and I liked the looks of the AC Better.

 

man you must have lots to do around your house jumping on your nerfs to try and bend them sound interseting lol???

 

Check on Graydons.
I have them on the DS. The tubing is bigger & the mounting is the strongest I found.
